Rude hostess

Hostess was incredibly rude when we asked for a table for four. She couldn’t even suggest an alternative restaurant because she “had to seat a table of 8.” There was no one else around the hostess stand. The restaurant’s posted hours indicated they were open for another hour and there were empty tables. I’ll never know if the food was as good as some other reviews claimed.

Great find

Part way between the Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon's Kanab Utah. Although not 100% vegan, they do cater to vegans. We each had the COCONUT THAI CURRY - a bit salty, but otherwise very good. And for dessert we had there “I CAN’T BELIEVE IT’S VEGAN” CHOCOLATE MOUSSE; it was very good. Great place to stop for a good meal.

Delicious

There are many vegan options at Rocking V Cafe. Don’t be confused about the menu online, where as per today vegan and vegetarian are the wrong way round.
Try the Yellow Curry, it is mouth-watering! Oh and that Polenta!! 😋🤤

Good burger!

After a long day hiking, we really wanted a nice sit-down meal. The restaurant offers a nice amount of vegan options. Should have ordered the curry, but was too hungry to pick anything other than the Happy Hippie burger. It was delicious! Although a bit pricey, 18$ tax.
If you are ever in town and looking for great vegan offers, highly recommend going to the Angel Village Cafe instead, which is attached to a huge animal sanctuary and offers a vegan buffet for 5 dollars, but only ay lunchtime (11:30 - 13:00). If you can't make it, this is the second best option in Kanab. Especially if you have non-vegan people in your travel group

Lots of options

I had the Coconut Thai Curry and it was fantastic. The menu doesn’t list it as vegan, but the waitress confirmed that it is a typo and it is vegan. There were lots of other vegan options that I wish I could have tried.

We ate two appetizers- the hummus and the Brussels Sprouts (without bacon of course) both were great. We finished it off with the chocolate mousse for dessert. Highly recommend.

Good Vegan Options

The vegan options at Rocking V are pretty good. My cousin had the happy hippie polenta bowl and I had the vegan burger. We also tried the hummus which was honestly the best part of the whole meal. The restaurant has a ton of vegan and vegetarian options for a small town like Kanab though.

Pros: Many options , Burger was good, Hummus was great!

Cons: Burger came with chips instead of fries

Patio seating please!

Weather was perfect for sitting outside while we were there from mid Oct- mid Nov. Sadly, every time we tried to eat there the patio was closed to patrons without dogs. We never ate there, because we wanted to dine outside.

Cons: Patio not open to patrons without dogs

Vegan Mousse

Not a ton of vegan options but a must, even just for dessert, for their vegan mousse. It's superb!

Update: Visited in July 2023 and they now have legit vegan options on the appetizer menu and dinner menu.

Excellent food and service

Friendly servers and hostess were super accommodating and dog friendly. Brought the pups a clean bowl of ice water and a treat each. Vegan burger was very very good. Will be back for the curry before I leave town.

The owner has such a full personality and makes it a fun place to be. Several vegetarian and vegan options for lunch and dinner. Some options are a little pricey but this is a kind of pricey area.

Quirky restaurant with good food

Art gallery upstairs and very friendly service. Good vegan options that didn't need customizing. Had the impossible burger with chili rice which was very good

Cons: Portions on the smaller side

Several vegan options, delicious food, super friendly owner!

My food was so delicious! I had their curry with tofu and WOW - amazing! A little spicy, but not too much. The owner was so friendly and the vibes of the restaurant were super fun😄Everything vegetarian, gluten-free, and vegan on the menu is clearly labeled!

Pros: Several vegan options , Friendly staff , Clearly labeled vegan options

Great variety

Lots of different options that are clearly marked on the menu. Only a couple are both gluten free AND vegan, but many more are solely vegan or vegetarian. So many options for a party with many different diets. Oh- and it’s delicious too!

Pros: Lots of options , Vegan and gluten free

Cons: Expensive

Expensive and heavy on salt, oil and sugar.

Disappointed with the vegan options, tend to be oily and salty, not fresh tasting. Also the prices are high. The best deal and best taste is just a garden salad with vinegar and oil. Otherwise the dressing is all salt, oil and sugar.

Cons: Expensive and heavy on salt oil and sugar.

Yum!

Loved it! The service was phenomenal and their vegan burger is delicious. If you’re vegan the only side you can have is their country beans BUT they’re so delicious, so who cares! I obviously wish there were more vegan options but they have enough options to give you options. They’re also very knowledgeable about what vegans can and can’t eat, which is always nice.

Pros: Vegan options (3 or 4), Many vegetarian options , Great service

Rude manager

We traveled far and wide as we're about getting ready to come home. Stopped by at Rocking V which they have small choice of vegan and vegetarian food on their menu. Ordered Happy Plate Burger which is Three pound vegan burger and also side for pasta salad. I ate some of the pasta salad until there was a reddish pink block as I couldn't tell what it was and then found out it was sausage/pepperoni block. My wife got upset and asked to change different side for garlic sour cream smasher (mashed potato). The manager treated us like kids by giving us a salad and pointed them out to us. Because we are deaf and do not understand what she said and just plain rude to us thinking we can read her lips which we don't.

Warning: don't order pasta salad.

Pros: Only about three choices of vegan/vegetarian, Pet friendly outside of restaurant

Cons: Manager was very rude & doesn't even smile, Not deaf friendly, Very expensive

Restaurant with vegan options

It is definitely not my preferred restaurant, now the vegan options they propose, should be a must have in all restaurants.

We were happy to find this restaurant in Kanab.

Pros: Good vegan food on menu, Great initiative

Cons: Limited choice
